Have you managed servers previously? No

On what servers do you usually play on and which one would you like to moderate?
|US JB
|LA JB
|AUS JB

Why would you like to become a moderator?
There are two reasons that i find myself with when making this application.

I'd like to commit my free time and energy towards serving the community and preserving the rules set by the server. I find enjoyment and satisfaction giving back and not asking anything in return. This community is my home and i'd like to do what i can to help out around our metaphorical house.

The second reason for my application today is very important to me. I want to not only be somebody who upholds the rules at the highest level, i want to change the culture of the jailbreak community into something more welcoming and friendly. I want to bring the US jailbreak (Including NY) servers back to their peak we saw in our previous years by leading a culture change to preserve regulars and promoting a tight-knit jailbreak community by encouraging forgiveness of others and lowering toxicity levels by leading by positive example.

Do you know and have spoken to any of the current staff members? Yes

Please let us know the names of staff members you have spoken to or know

I am able to play when i can, which tends to be often due to my open schedule

Please give us your ideal way of punishing players, specific to the server you want to moderate

Is there any other information you would like us to know about?
I understand that my punishment ladder may differ than the one currently used by Blackwonder officially and i respect that. I tried to create my punishment ladder using references and replies given by administrators when reviewing prior declined and accepted applications. I am fully capable of adapting to the official punishment ladder used by Blackwonder if my Application is indeed accepted at this junction.
https://tfstats.tf/player/5042366 I fully understand that i will need to tone it down on the F word when representing the community, based on my logs i have consciously applied restraint the past few weeks to not use it sparingly.
Obviously, a small blemish is currently on my application when reviewing my ban history.

First off i'd like to address my most recent teamban initiated by x9_raven earlier this month.

Because of the pandemic, i have been relying on my phone data to keep my internet in check. Unfortunately, a few days before the next cycle i usually have to rescind to my home wifi which is plagued with overuse from my roomates. This has caused me to experience high levels of lag once in a while if i'm forced to use my actual wifi. During these times, I usually play on the red team if i notice continuous lag so i don't disrupt the round if i am roulette to warden as a guard.

In this isolated and unfortunate case, I was struck with some pretty bad luck.

I went warden due to the fact that i haven't experienced any disruptive lag that day which of course, began to escalate once i took over and began to give out orders. In my experience, I really did not want the round to go into a free-day and disrupt the game and potentially deny LR's active, so i made the call to !uw in order to preserve this round.

Now this is my fault in its entirety as i should not have put myself in this situation and stayed on the red team until i felt comfortable with my lag before making the switch to the blu team.

I completely support raven's action in issuing the punishment against me and i would've done the very same if i were in his position.

I realize that this punishment was rather recent and i understand if this blemish on my record poses red flags towards your overall opinion of me, but i hope that my records show that this was an isolated incident.

As far as my other punishments go, i have no recollection of the punishments issued by the 2 donors and i believe if you had a chat with the 2 of them, you will probably get a positive response when it comes to my in-game behavior.
Roughly 3 years ago, I was an active member of the Blackwonder community under the name Threshnold and submitted an application for the moderator position


I have since deactivated the account once i made this account for a "Fresh start".
however, for the purpose of clarity i have made a ticket for the old account to be reactivated for archival purposes and for review if you pose it as necessary.
I believe that the feedback provided by the admins on my previous application is still applicable and i have done my best to carry out their advice. I approached this return with a new directive, to fully integrate myself in the community and make myself known. I have done this by remaining active on the forums, discord and in game. I have also interacted in some way with most of the jailbreak staff by asking questions or for help clarifying rule.
My experience as a donor has been more about establishing myself as a known individual in the jailbreak community rather than enforcing the rules with an iron fist. I usually only used my votecommands unless it was absolutely needed. I wanted to make sure other players could feel like i was trustworthy, so i tended to hold on initiating a vote unless they were disrupting the round, so in order not to cause a scene, i usually took my report the the forums rather than risk donor abusing which would be a one way ticket to having the community not like trust me from the get-go. I think my time as donor so far has been valuable and i plan to continue to be a productive member of the server no matter where this application ends up.
Are you proficient in languages other than English? No

While you typed a lot, it doesn't paint a picture of an ideal scenario for a mod. I'm also confused how you don't recall having either vote against you in the last couple of weeks. Which means your internet is so bad you somehow didn't notice, you somehow forgot, or you're omitting something.

Hi Robb, Thanks for replying so fast!

I understand your point of view and completely understand that what i said did not add up.

Please allow me to explain myself and make amends for my poorly worded explanation regarding my 2 votebans against my name.

I have no recollection of these events taking place as far as me actually committing these acts. when it comes to the illegal ff and the mass freekill claims made against me with the two donors, I simply do not believe that i have committed these actions. These two claims are incredibly high on the totem pole when it comes to breaking the rules and it should not be scoffed at, so i'd like to present my defense if i am able.

I have not received any reports against me with recorded demo's of each of the alleged actions, illegal FF and MFK are easily caught if somebody on the server is recording at the time, obviously i understand that not everybody records but the fact that not a single person has recorded evidence of me doing these actions points to the fact that the votes were misunderstandings or illegitimate. (which happens all the time)

I'd be more than happy to have the two individuals who votebanned me have a conversation here or in DM's so we can discuss this further.

Again, I apologize that i came off as shady or untrustworthy and i appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I am happy we could discuss this in further detail. Lag is not a continual issue for me and it does not hamper my ability to play the game or interact with players. I promise that the teamban was an isolated incident and my behavior proves that.
